Session Highlights
This workshop covers the ideas behind personalized learning, as well as the practical steps that will help you get started. The five-step personalized plan covers everything from goal-setting, to facilitation, and reviewing data. The program is “platform agnostic,” so you can use these five steps with whatever software you use for online learning.
This Level 1 session focuses on the first three stages of personalized learning: Plan, Launch, and Support. Step 4 (Respond) and 5 (Beyond) are covered in the Level 2 Personalized Learning workshop:
Plan: Set up teacher and student accounts, create your personalized learning schedule and student expectations.
Launch: Introduce your students to the concepts behind personalized learning and show them how to make the most of your chosen platform. Students create their personalized learning goals.
Support: Address common challenges students face when adjusting to personalized learning. Create a routine of small group and individual conferences to help students take ownership of their learning. This workshop is designed for educators shifting to a personalized learning approach, as well as those who are looking to create a more systematic approach for their personalized learning initiatives.
Takeaways
Each participant receives a digital workbook, full of planning materials and student organizers, so you can start making the most of personalized learning the very next day. The 5-Step Personalized Learning plan can be used for students of all ages, in live classrooms or for online learning.
